Inflamm Bowel Dis

Risk of Infection in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treated With Interleukin-Targeting Agents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

There was no difference in risk of infection between patients with IBD who received IL-targeting agents compared with the control group. Case registries and randomized controlled trials reporting the safety of IL inhibitors should provide detailed information about the risk of specific infectious complications in patients with IBD receiving IL-targeting agents.

Association of Body Composition Indices with Cardiovascular Outcomes: A Nationwide Cohort Study.

Our results highlight the value of pLBMI, pBFMI, and pASMMI as variables for assessing the risk of composite cardiovascular outcomes. The significance of indicators may vary depending on BMI categories.

Can sodium and potassium measured in timed voids be used as reference instruments for validating self-report instruments? Results from a urine calibration study.

Our results lay the basis for further development of new reference biomarkers based on timed voids. Clinical trial registry Home | ClinicalTrials.govas NCT01631240.

Excluding whole grain containing foods from the Nova ultra-processed food category: a cross-sectional analysis of the impact on associations with cardiometabolic risk measures.

Foods high in whole grain may not significantly contribute to the deleterious associations previously observed between UPF intake and cardiometabolic risk factors. Consideration of their contribution to healthful dietary patterns and diet quality in the US population should be made prior to endorsement of Nova.

Fasting plasma metabolites reflecting meat consumption and their associations with incident type 2 diabetes in two Swedish cohorts.

Consistent associations of biomarker candidates involved in lipid metabolism between higher processed red meat intake with higher T2D risk and between those reflecting lower intake with the lower risk may suggest a relationship between processed meat intake and higher T2D risk. However, attenuated associations after adjusting for BMI indicates that such a relationship may at least partly be mediated or confounded by BMI.

Maternal Plasma Phospholipid Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Early Pregnancy and Thyroid Function throughout Pregnancy: A Longitudinal Study.

Certain plasma phospholipid PUFAs were associated with optimal levels of thyroid biomarkers and even lower risk of GHT throughout pregnancy, which might be potentially targeted for maternal thyroid regulation in early pregnancy.

2'-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde Alleviates Intestinal Inflammation by Attenuating Intestinal Mucosal Barrier Damage Via Directly Inhibiting STAT3.

We present a novel finding that HCA reduces colitis severity by attenuating intestinal mucosal barrier damage via STAT3. This discovery holds promise as a potential new strategy to alleviate UC.

Causal Association Analysis of Periodontitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study.

Our results indicated that CD was the risk factor for periodontitis; conversely, periodontitis was responsible for the exacerbation of UC, enhancing the existence of mouth-gut axis. Patients with UC should pay more attention to periodontal health, while patients with periodontitis should actively pay close heed to intestinal health.

Comorbidity Between Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Asthma and Allergic Diseases: A Genetically Informed Study.

We found little evidence to support a shared origin between IBD and any allergic disease but weak evidence for shared genetic and unique environmental components for IBD and eczema.

Comparison of Fecal Calprotectin and Myeloperoxidase in Predicting Outcomes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Fecal biomarkers are independent predictors of IBD-related outcomes and are useful adjuncts to routine clinical care.

Our Life Is a Rollercoaster! A Qualitative Phenomenological Study Exploring the Impact of IBD on Family Members.

IBD affects the emotional and psychosocial well-being of family members, eliciting both adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies. Healthcare professionals need to adopt a holistic approach to managing IBD that considers the psychosocial and emotional challenges faced by individuals and their families.

Outcomes in Adult Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinical Trials: Assessment of Similarity Among Participants with Adolescent-Onset and Adult-Onset Disease.

Data presented lend support for extrapolating efficacy of biologics from adults to adolescents with IBD, which would facilitate earlier labeling and patient access.

The epidemiology of inflammatory bowel diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic: comparison of two nationwide cohorts.

The incidence of IBD decreased during the pandemic in association with lockdowns, more so in Israel, which had more stringent policies. Future studies are needed to determine the long-term effect of the pandemic on IBD.

Unraveling the Oral-Gut axis: Interconnection between Periodontitis and IBD, Current Challenges, and Future Perspective.

We present an in-depth examination of the interconnection between oral pathologies and IBD, highlighting the shared microbiological and immunological pathways, and proposing a "multi-hit" hypothesis in the pathogenesis of periodontitis-mediated intestinal inflammation. Furthermore, the review underscores the critical need for a collaborative approach between dentists and gastroenterologists to provide holistic oral-systemic healthcare.

Racial and Ethnic Minorities With Acute Pancreatitis Live in Neighborhoods With Higher Social Vulnerability Scores.

Minorities with AP have higher SVI compared with NHWs with AP. Higher SVI scores, lower consumption of beneficial nutrients, and increased gcn of pan-dsrA in minorities with AP suggest that neighborhood vulnerability could be contributing to AP inequities.

Clinical diagnosis of psychiatric comorbidities, performance of screening tests and pattern of psychotropic medication use in patients with chronic pancreatitis.

Psychiatric comorbidities are common among CP patients and many receive psychotropic medications. Further studies are needed to evaluate the impact of these medications on CP symptoms.

Clinical outcomes of second-line therapy following disease progression on first-line modified FOLFIRINOX for borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

The current study showed the real-world practice pattern of subsequent therapy and clinical outcomes following progression on first-line mFOLFIRINOX in BRPC and LAPC. Further investigation is necessary to establish the optimal therapy after failure of mFOLFIRINOX.
